Frost Damage to Plants--Cut it Off?

[SproutGirl]

Well, you know you live in Montana when you get frost damage to your garden in June! Agh! Anyway, what I'm wondering is should I cut this damaged stuff off, or should I let the plants recover on their own? The damage is to several tomato plants of various varieties and 3 types of squash, both summer and winter. Thanks!

for me I would probably buy starts from a greenhouse to replace...... but thats because I don't want the plant to waste time healing and rather have the fruits n veggies fast

Cut them cause it can cause it to rot and spread disease..
Usually itll dry out but it could happen

Oh yeah. Enough to grow tomatoes, and enough tomatoes to can! In fact, I'm down to may last 3 jars of tomatoes from last summer. So those plants I've got have to grow! I need more tomatoes!
